Harv,
I'm also considering purchasing a new Ford F250 (w/ 6.5' bed) and a FWC Hawk camper. But, I need to be able to open the camper door just enough to slip inside to take a quick nap while traveling with my motorcycle mounted on a receiver mounted carrier.
Could you please measure the distance from the back of your camper to the front of your trucks trailer hitch opening? This will help me determine if it's possible to enter the camper with my motorcycle in place.
Thanks,
Tom
I made a custom hauler to allow entry with a bike on the back and have a place for fuel cans- the commercial joe-hauler type racks are not far enough back-. It makes it easy to get in the back on my way to my favorite riding areas. With the bike loaded - I can just open the door wide enough to crawl in- If I need to I just loosen up the inside tie-down a bit and let the bike lean back away from the truck .
I also added mount points to the end of my bumpers to cut down on side to side movement when off-roading.
This one has served me well in the last 8 years. But hauling around a much lighter bike these days ( CRF450) and have been planning to build an aluminum one to cut down on weight. just need to find the time
